A Case Of Necessity.

One expects a certain amount of "guff" in
newspapers. A particular class of writer's de-
light to strike false chords of sentiment and
gush. Here's an incident witnessed myself,
which has the merit of truth. / was coming
back from Jersey City. The ferry boat was
about TO enter the slip, when man near the
forward door of the smoking cabin got up
and said:
"Mates, I'm workingman. like the rest Of
yez. I've got wife and three children home
to-day, starving. I'll grub for living, do
anything an honest man can, but want ye
to help me now to tide me over the night"
Several voices exclaimed, "Shut up; sit
down; we've heard that before" The man
kept his feet and faced the crowd as it poured
through the door. There was nothing of the
professional beggar about him, he looked like
what he undoubtedly was-a striking coal
handler. l saw one passenger give him q
silver dollar. Many others gave up smaller
coins. fingered behind and heard gentle
man take down the fellows name and address
and offer him work; then the beggar was left
alone in the cabin. l knew the world and
was suspicious went back and looked into
the cabin window, expecting to see the
3workingman' counting out his money and
preparing for raid on the next boat load
The poor fellow was down on his knees before
q seat, with his head buried in his hands,
sobbing like a child. l felt particularly
small and sneaked Off the boat. The moral
of this is: Don't necessarily BLACKBOARD a
man because he is compelled to strike.-New

hearty meal.
"a man who once figured on the board Of
trade and made 81, coo a month does nearly
all his eating at free lunch tables. He lost
bis money and his nerve on the same corner
A great many men out of work, men who
have been used to better fare, would be
objects of public charity or starve il the
saloon lunches were not within easy reach.
We never refuse decent looking man who
looks hungry, but fire out tramps and loafers
when they move on our layout Free lunches
are not charitable arrangements, but they
are often means Of helping worthy people.
In one down town saloon, where an extra
quality of soup is served, the crowds at noon
time can scarcely be accommodated. Often
the tables are all filled and the patrons stand
around the room with a bowl in one hand
and spoon in the other. A whole leg Of
beef is boiled up in huge caldron. The soup
costs the proprietor $50 day, but he makes
a clear profit of $50 on each days sales of
extra beer consumed. Saloon keepers know
that light lunch neutralizes the effects Of
many drinks, and the capacity of the drinkers
is, as it We're. enlarged by the lunches. Poll
ticians who fix up tickets, gossipers who
have nowhere else to loaf and men who are
out for a time are liberal patrons of the lunch
